If you still refuse to wear sunscreen, even if you’re staying indoors…

I honestly don’t understand why some people simply can’t accept the fact that sunscreen is non-negotiable, even if you’re staying put for the day. (And although I actually enjoy Gwyneth very much, don’t get me started on her latest sunscreen-application advice.) Unless you live in a panic/padded room or jail cell with no windows, screens or devices, your skin is still exposed to UV rays—and more blue light than ever. (As you’re reading this, blue light is doing its deleterious work.)

Even if you do wear sunscreen every day, rain or shine, inside or out, you’re probably not reapplying it throughout the day. The same goes for your blue light protection, and most of us are literally sitting in front of a computer all day. Instead of continuing to lecture you, I’m going to give you a solution: ILIA Beauty’s new Blue Light Filter Face Mist.

Just a few light spritzes do a lot more than give your skin a much-needed pick-me-up. This weightless mist also forms an invisible barrier on your skin that protects against blue light and pollution (sorry, that’s everywhere too)—and it even helps keep your makeup in place. Featuring marine actives to help your skin feel firmer and hydrated, mastic to keep shine at bay and tara extract for extra antioxidant protection, this is a must-have for every desk, whether at home or in an actual office. (What’s that again?)

P.S. Make the most of the light lavender scent and treat yourself to a minute or two of self-care as you need it throughout the day. Just mist it on, take a few deep breaths and get back to it knowing your skin is protected against the never-ending stream of emails from your boss and text messages from your child.
